2) Message boards : Number crunching : Couldn't connect to hostname... (Message 14201) Posted 20 Apr 2006 by Emanuele Corcagnani Post: The thing is that I've set-up a somewhat tricky configuration, having installed two routers in a row. One acting as an ADSL-modem and DHCP plus Firewall etc. pp. and the second attached to it, not having a modem itself, serving as a WLAN access point, slave plugged to the primary router. As fortune wills it, I had to recheck the whole configuration tonight because a client had to be inserted into the WLAN. And while working on that I might have finally found the option, you told me to watch out for. The one, where you can set up the idle time...g Now, it's still too early to tell for sure, but if I got it right, my problem might have been finally solved this time. I'll keep you updated if it had the desired impact on my network configuration, and if the BOINC manager will stop giving me those error messages. We'll see. Again, thanks for your time and support on this matter. To all of you! Maybe this thread might help others with a similar issue to show them a way. Bye for now.

It sounds like a valuable hint to me, worth investigating. I will try to get in touch with tech support, which'll be in my case either netgear's for the router set-up or my local ISP's own. Perhaps one of those two might have a solution at hand. The one you indicated seems feasible. Bye and thank you all for your help!

(Message 14150) Posted 20 Apr 2006 by Emanuele Corcagnani Post: Looks like Emanuele is getting the required assistence in this thread. Yes. And I am thankful for that. And thanks to you too, for this advice. I am still green with all this thread-posting, boards and so on. So thanks again. Besides, if anyone has an idea regarding my connection issues you are obviously welcome to follow the link... ciao.

The "message tab"? if so can you copy and paste the relevant message here? Sorry. I thougth I did that in my initial message. Here it comes again: "Couldn't connect to hostname [boinc.bakerlab.org] Scheduler request to [...] failed with a return value of -106 No schedulers responded" And to answer your next question in a go, it's yes. I have to confirm my internet connection attempts twice, always, be it with the BOINC client or Firefox or any other internet related software that needs online access. But once online, it works. Until next time, that is. Do you have a clue already?
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Couldn't connect to hostname... (Message 14127) Posted 19 Apr 2006 by Emanuele Corcagnani Post: Is your concern that the wus upload, but don't report? No, not exactly. The problem lies with the connection itself. That is why I believe it to be a problem with my router set-up, as I have to confirm any internet access twice. That is, that on the first run it won't connect, but when refreshed manually a second time it suddenly works. And that is and has I think, if I remember it right, ever since been like so. So my question is, if I maybe have to open a port/configure a connection or fix a pathway in and with my router hardware, or if there is anything in the first place, that makes Rosetta go online and establish a connection successfully every time it needs to report its results all by itself. Without me having to push it manually. The downside to it is, that it has a negative inpact on my reporting stats and all. And that's what is nagging me most. You understand? Does that clarify it somewhat? Sorry, I am no native speaker and cannot do much better than that. But I hope you'll understand it anyway. Thanks.

(Message 14111) Posted 19 Apr 2006 by Emanuele Corcagnani Post: Thread moved from the Science Forum Is it possible you were trying to connect during the project outage yesterday? Yes. Indeed. I got news from the outage after posting my enquiry, unfortunately that was not the reason as I have been experiencing this kindo of problems for quite a while now.

9) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Couldn't connect to hostname... (Message 14088) Posted 18 Apr 2006 by Emanuele Corcagnani Post: Hello there, dear brothers at arms. Most probably this question of mine will already have been posted and answered before, so I'll apologize in advance for posting it anyway. But as I have not been able to figure it out by myself nor find an apropriate solution to it yet, and yes, I read the FAQs, I'd like to address you folks. Ready? Here it goes. I have been running Rosetta for roundabout three months right now, and have accumulated a solid 10k of credits. Not much but decent. Anyway, almost always my good old P4 (3.06 GHz) completes a package and is ready reporting the results I get the following error message: "Couldn't connect to hostname [boinc.bakerlab.org] Scheduler request to [...] failed with a return value of -106 No schedulers responded" All I managed as a stupid workaround so far, is to hit the refresh button twice till the reports went through and the connection established successfully. Obviously this won't work when I am off and so my BOINC manager get's stucked respectively. As I have to do the same every once I want to access the internet, I presume I got my connection configured the wrong way, and that the router is not set up properly. So if there's any of you cracks out there listening, I'd appreciate your help a lot. g Thank you, and good 'crunchin' to all of you. (Apropos: I am using a flat/ADSL-internet connection and it's working fine once it's online. It just has to be a router setting, hasn't it?)
10) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Possible idea for ramping up computing power.... (Message 14086) Posted 18 Apr 2006 by Emanuele Corcagnani Post: Salve! I've just come upon this post and would like to compliment you on the idea. It's great! But as you mentioned, Druegan, it would certainly require some real hot shot in terms of organising such an undertaking... Plus, I tend to agree with BennyRop as far as efficiency is concerned. Nonetheless, and as much good as it might do, I would certainly volunteer as a supporter. Actually I could even contribute a trio of adaquate machines, a start-up gift, so to say. That is, if things get serious.
